Mowing a Ridiculously Overgrown Retention Pond with the Ventrac 4500

[@chaunceypullman3380]

You guys are worth your weight in gold. You make a harsh situation look easy. The Best Crew out there!!!!

[@ralphellsworth8140]

Hello guys, I like the way the boss leaves you guys on a job and you knock it out, he has some good people working for him. You know how to operate all the equipment and you don't play around when your on a job.BE SAFE AND GOD BLESS!!!!!

[@edwardgarea7650]

Josh makes for a great Master of Ceremonies. He has definitely become more comfortable in front of the camera and is showing us why Jon has so much confidence in him. I don’t envy the guys having to work on the retention pond. Mud and snakes, an unenviable recipe for potential disaster. Getting the Ventrac stuck in the mud must bring back memories for Jon when he did it and had to call Jodi out to rescue him with the Bobcat. That Ventrac, though, is a gem. When Jon got it and did a video about it I forwarded it to my friend in NJ, who has a landscape company. He became so enamored with what he saw he bought one and describes it as one of the best purchases he’s ever made. And Jon, when you can take a few hours to look at jobs knowing that when you come back everything will be good, that’s when you know you have one good crew. When Micah comes to work with a back making him move like the Hunchback of Notre Dame, that’s when you know you have a great crew.

[@tacocin]

Why is this so satisfying to watch? LOL! Great job guys!

[@DanKoning777]

I'm always impressed by what a Ventrac can do; it reminds me of UBC. It can do the same work as one 3x its size. *God bless.*

[@dennismahonchak3228]

It's unbelievable the transformation you and your crew can make. Another great video Jon, keep them coming.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Loved the rescue with the bobcat!

[@emeyers5984]

Another amazing transformation by Jon and his awesome team! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Southernbred52]

It is such a blessing to have a crew you can trust when you have to be away!!! Awesome job fella's!!

[@alexanderj.mendez3815]

I always tell my men if we don’t make the shop money, why would they keep opened? We as employees are the company!!

[@bigbluram]

My boss told me the more I make him the more he can pay me on days that we do really good he plucks me out an extra 50 or a $100 at the end of the day ! That keeps a hard working crew around and makes you go hard even if you are getting paid hourly knowing what comes at the end of a good day

[@bluecordterrainmanagement]

The Ventrac is an awesome machine! Even though there's equipment that can take out heavier stuff than the Ventrac , it can go places that no others can.

[@oldschooldiy3240]

Watching this was almost as relaxing as watching saw mill videos!

[@UpstateBrushControl]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@miker8915]

that ventrac is a beast when it comes to cutting down all that brush. We have that kind of brush and briers up here in New England, Thanks for sharing!!

[@jplunkett3647]

Its GREAT to View Video Content that TESTS out any Piece of Equipment = Talk / Sales and Marketing is Just That = Working Equipment On JOB Site is Reality Thank You for TESTING of Ventrac KEEP Your Video Footage coming = Its Enjoyed by MANY

[@sonnyblazer5504]

Nice SAVE JOSH! See, you have the ability to THINK - and get the BELT back on & adjusted while others (somewhere) would sit and stare at it till the BOSS came by at the end of the day and said, "WHAT HAPPENED"? UPSTATE BRUSH CONTROL is ONE GREAT "TEAM" having each other's back! Hats off to all of you! Sonny (CT)

[@jamesscali6156]

I love watching you guys you did a nice job you really seem to know what your doing i learn a lot.Here have a coffee and some bacon on me lolol

[@C10sRule]

That’s pretty fantastic how well the Ventrac just “floats” on the wet ground. They are pretty amazing machines, if you can justify the cost. Snakes are ok. I really hope you or none of your crew ever have to deal with the venomous varieties. Hahaha. As I was writing this, I then heard you say the Ventrac was stuck up to its belly!! Heh heh. It has great “flotation”, but it doesn’t “float”!!, haha. You had the right equipment to get it out at least. Thanks for sharing fellas!

[@billfeldman3234]

Good JOB you all Keep up the good work!!!!

Thank you!

Nice good job boys! Looks 100% better. Take care and be safe. Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧👍

[@dloglesby57]

the Ventrac was awesome! gonna need a bit of cleaning after it sunk in the retention pond though. Like night and day with the before and after. Great Job! Thanks for sharing.

Job well done the boys were spot on you have a good team there

[@58unclesam]

Looks great, with the conditions customer should be happy and I bet your guys are happy the Ventrek was able to get in there, that was a mess!

[@tnybizzle]

Being a Greenville County resident myself, I can vouch that Greenville county likes to fine people for overgrown yards. They don't care what type of situation the person is facing, they just want all properties to look the same.

[@peterbachman5965]

Just makes sense to maintain versus leave it alone for several years then come back and try to knock down heavy overgrowth. People have the option to move/live elsewhere, too.

[@chasingthefish9042]

Up keep is cheaper if you keep the jungle back. Mow it like every month and the brush won't grow like this. Keep in mind this has been like this for YEARS before they did this job

[@bbodybeast984]

Finally a SC lawn channel

[@luke1772]

That Ventrac is a beast! I’m impressed

[@MrPhatties]

The skidsteer brush clearer seemed way better.

[@luke1772]

@@MrPhatties It depends on where you’re clearing. In the video above they’re in a detention pond that is still wet and muddy. The main point if you watched was to not rut up the pond or as little as possible but also clear out the vegetation. A 10,000 lbs skid steer with a 2,500 lbs mulcher not only would’ve rutted up the pond bottom but also most likely would’ve buried it’s self in the mud due to its weight. This video proves not only the versatility of the Ventrac but also highlights its capability.

[@MrPhatties]

@@luke1772 just saying that the ventrec was struggling on small brush and lost a belt while the skidsteer didn't even drop RPMs on much bigger stuff. Consisting the ventrec is a lawn mower it's damn impressive but I'd have been in there with the brush hog long before heading in with a tractor mower. Hard to make the point that the city cares about the state of the retention pond when looking at it lol.

[@bigbluram]

@@luke1772 Very well said were also comparing a $40000 machine to a $180000 machine I think ventrack did very good considering the conditions it was working in that big machine would have been buried as soon as it went into the bottom of the pond if the ventrack was struggling

[@1armedguy4]

Wow nice job fellas, a total transformation !

You folks should invest in the Quick Attach Bradco Ground Shark ! It could take down all but 3 trees on this project !

Tell him to take care of his back I knows I have my back torn up I have to go to the chiropractor and massage and needles every 4 to 6 weeks

[@anthonycash4609]

John have you ever came across a retention pond that would just not dry up enough to get in it to clean out. I got stuck in one way back that just would not dry out. We did the best we could but never could get it totally cleaned out. It had at least a foot of water in it year around in the lower section of it.

[@jefferyschirm4103]

With all that awesome equipment it would be a miracle not to do a beautiful job !!

[@Flyingdutchman586]

Looks rough on the Ventrac. I hope you don't have too many more jobs like this. Looks good when all is cleaned up.

[@dieselwrench3621]

How do you like the ventrac I’m thinking about buying one

[@davidnull5590]

John, with GoPro cameras and KZbin it's very difficult guessing the size of these projects, If you think of it in future videos, would you please say the rough dimensions of the pond?? Was this pond about 3 feet high, 30 feet wide and 150 feet long? Thanks.

[@timothyrussell4010]

what is that big hole you cleared out with the drain that the city is impatient to get cleaned out

[@richardward2352]

man good job

[@watchthe1369]

Is that the flail or the blade head for the ventrac? I would want the flail for that woody stuff. You need a mulcher head for your excavator that one machine might have been able to do the whole job? Still awesome what the ventrac can do for a heavy duty lawn tractor.

[@UpstateBrushControl]

It was the tough cut deck.

[@mrpcoulter1655]

Why did you pull all the branches up to the sides and mulch them instead of piling them in the middle and burning them? Awesome job - looks great!

[@robertsimons8643]

Jon.... can you or do you have maintenance contracts with the county/town/customer for these retention ponds ? or is it only as needed ?
